Douluo: Shocked, the Most Beautiful Bride Qian Renxue!

The ground instantly cracked, spreading outward like a spiderweb.

Watching the incoming bear claw imprint, Li Jiutian said with disdain, "Zhao Wuji, this should be the final strike you can muster!"

"Then let us decide the outcome with one blow!"

"Zixuan, apply the strength amplification!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Divine Power!"

A black, ten-thousand-year soul ring flashed on Luo Zixuan's body, and a beam of pure white holy light descended from the sky, landing upon Li Jiutian.

"Left Arm Bone Skill, Holy Light Burst God Fist!"

Li Jiutian's aura surged, rivaling that of a Soul Douluo. His left fist was enveloped in golden light as he struck fiercely toward the bear claw imprint!

"BOOM!"

With a thunderous explosion, the fist tore through the claw imprint and struck the Vajra Bear directly in the abdomen!

Accompanied by a shrill cry, the Vajra Bear was instantly blasted five kilometers away!

Zhao Wuji retracted his martial soul and collapsed to the ground, severely wounded, clutching his bleeding abdomen.

"Is that all you have?"

Li Jiutian transformed into a streak of golden light, reaching Zhao Wuji in less than three seconds.

"As long as... as long as you spare my life, I will agree to anything!" Zhao Wuji begged.

"You have no value in my eyes whatsoever!"

"Go meet the King of Hell!"

Li Jiutian said coldly, then raised his greatsword to strike at Zhao Wuji's neck!

At that moment, Zhao Wuji suddenly scrambled backward and slammed his hands into the ground!

"BANG!"

The ground within a five-hundred-meter radius shattered, kicking up a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, Zhao Wuji was nowhere to be seen!

"Brother, don't tell me that big clumsy bear actually managed to escape!" Luo Zixuan exclaimed.

"Your brother has always been decisive in killing and never shows mercy; how could I let him escape?"

Li Jiutian's eyes flashed with golden light, spotting Zhao Wuji as he fled toward his students.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blazing Sun Dragon-Locking Array!"

With the increase in his soul power level, the range of the flame walls expanded to a radius of ten kilometers.

"I never expected that I, Zhao Wuji, would die in a place like this after a lifetime of glory!"

Looking at the hellish walls of fire surrounding him, Zhao Wuji knew there was no escape.

Just then, a Golden Flame Giant Dragon appeared beside Li Jiutian and charged fiercely toward Zhao Wuji!

"BOOM!"

The moment the Golden Flame Giant Dragon collided with Zhao Wuji, he was instantly reduced to charred remains!

The nearby students witnessed this scene and were so terrified they wet themselves, their trousers soaked through.

"Brother, your fourth soul skill is too monstrous; it's comparable to the eighth soul skill of a Titled Douluo!" Luo Zixuan said with admiration.

Li Jiutian smiled slightly, walked up to the student, and said coldly, "Get lost!"

"You... you aren't going to kill me?" The student looked at Li Jiutian in terror, his voice trembling.

"I have no interest in killing trash. Go back and deliver a message: within five years, Shrek Academy will cease to exist on this continent!"

After saying this, Li Jiutian took Luo Zixuan's hand and headed toward Spirit City.

Watching the two walk away, the student glanced at the charred remains of Zhao Wuji, his eyes suddenly turning unusually firm as he muttered:

"Thank goodness I played the fool to survive. Teacher, Zhao Meng will definitely avenge you one day!"

Zhao Meng took off his coat, carefully wrapped up the charred remains of Zhao Wuji, and began his journey toward Heaven Dou City.

Li Jiutian did not know at this moment that the "trash" in his eyes would become his number one enemy years later.

The tournament begins!

Heaven Dou City.

Inside Shrek Academy.

"Sigh, that masked man even said that within five years, he would ensure Shrek Academy ceases to exist on this continent."

Zhao Meng returned to the academy and recounted everything that had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest to Grandmaster and the others.

"What... you're saying this charred lump is Teacher Zhao Wuji!"

Looking at the humanoid charcoal on the ground, Xiao Wu burst into tears.

"I'll find that person immediately and tear him to pieces!"

After Liu Erlong finished speaking, she was about to storm out of the academy in a rage, but Grandmaster stopped her with one hand.

"Erlong, don't be impulsive. Anyone capable of killing Zhao Wuji so easily is no ordinary person!"

Grandmaster's heart was also twisted with agony, but he forced himself to remain calm.

"Classmate, take a guess at the age of the culprit who killed Teacher Zhao Wuji, and what was his Spirit?"

Tang San spoke up at this moment, asking with a puzzled expression.

"He should be between 12 and 18 years old. His Spirit was massive—a golden angel with eight pairs of wings!"

Zhao Meng replied.

"12 to 18 years old, an Eight-Winged Angel Spirit... I think I know who it is!"

"But... how is that possible? Teacher Zhao was a level 76 Spirit Saint!"

Tang San frowned deeply and shook his head helplessly.

"I have only ever heard of the Six-Winged Angel Spirit; this is the first time I've heard of an eight-winged one."

"San, do you know who the culprit is?"

Grandmaster asked, confused.

"Teacher, do you remember the boy who kidnapped me and Xiao Wu six years ago?"

"It is almost certainly him who killed Teacher Zhao Wuji. His Spirit is an Angel, and one can tell just by looking at the Angel Wings on his back," Tang San explained.

"Although I don't know what deep grudge he has against our Shrek Academy, this blood feud will not go unavenged. When we find an opportunity, we will definitely make him pay with his life!"

Flender said furiously before walking out of the room first.

Grandmaster thought to himself, "Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, I am not finished with you!"

Two years later.

Spirit City had been exceptionally lively lately, as the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, held once every five years, had finally begun!

The Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was initiated and hosted by the royal families of the two great empires, Heaven Dou and Star Luo.

Co-organized by Spirit Hall, it was the grandest spirit tournament in the spirit master world, with the strength of the participants second only to the Spirit Hall elite selection trials.

Many passersby were discussing it:

"Who do you think will be the champion this year?"

"That's a stupid question, obviously the Spirit Hall Academy Team!"

"I wouldn't be so sure. That Shrek Academy is also fierce; they've pulled off upsets all the way to the semifinals."

Hearing these discussions, Li Jiutian shook his head helplessly, thinking, "Victory will belong to Spirit Hall in the end!"

"Brother, this academy tournament looks really lively. Let's go take a look!"

Luo Zixuan watched as many people headed toward the direction of Spirit Hall and said excitedly.

"Since you want to participate in the tournament, I will speak to Her Majesty the Pope. Brother will accompany you to the arena for the finals!"

Li Jiutian patted her small head and said dotingly.

"Hee hee, let's go then. Let's go see this semifinal match today; it must be very exciting!"

After Luo Zixuan finished speaking, she pulled Li Jiutian toward the Spirit Hall tournament arena!

After two years of grueling training, Luo Zixuan's spirit power had risen to level 49, just one step away from breaking through to become a Spirit King.

Li Jiutian's spirit power had reached level 61, though he had yet to obtain his spirit ring.

Spirit Hall.

Great Soul Fighting Arena.

Inside the arena, the New Blazing Academy Team, formed by the merger of the Kamikaze and Blazing academies, was locked in a fierce battle against the Shrek Academy Team.

What surprised Li Jiutian was that although Tang San and the others hadn't obtained the opportunity of immortal herbs, they had all broken through to become Spirit Ancestors, with even higher spirit power levels than they would have had after consuming the herbs. Could it be that hatred had driven them to train even harder?

In the spectator stands, students from the Five Elemental Academies stood separately, watching the match with excitement.

The winner of this match would earn the right to compete against the Spirit Hall Academy Team for the championship!

On the high platform, Bibi Dong's eyes were calm as water as she watched the match. When she saw Li Jiutian and Luo Zixuan walk into the spectator area, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

Standing beside her were the two Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, the Platinum Bishop Salas, as well as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

"Everyone, who do you think will win this match?"

Bibi Dong asked calmly.

"Wind borrows the momentum of fire, and fire borrows the power of wind. Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu coordinate seamlessly, and all the team members have concentrated their soul power into these two, giving them the strength to vaguely break through to the Soul Saint level."

"Look at Shrek Academy's ace, Tang San; he is currently being beaten without any room to fight back!"

"In my opinion, Blazing Fire Academy will emerge victorious in this match," Chrysanthemum Douluo analyzed.

Bibi Dong smiled slightly, then glanced to her right: "Sect Master Ning, what is your take?"

"Shrek Academy has won by surprise at every turn. Although they are currently being suppressed by Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu with no chance to retaliate, it is still unknown whether there will be any variables later on," Ning Fengzhi said, bowing his head respectfully.

Bibi Dong knew Yu Xiaogang's intelligence and talent well. She looked at Li Jiutian in the spectator stands, thinking to herself:

"This match symbolizes the ownership of three ten-thousand-year soul bones; it absolutely cannot be lost!"

"If Shrek Academy truly wins, to ensure there are no slip-ups, I will have no choice but to let that monster among monsters, Little Tian, take the stage."

"Bing'er, look quickly at that man in the black brocade robe. He's so handsome! I wonder which academy he's from; I've never seen him before."

Shui Yue'er's eyes were mesmerized as she looked at Li Jiutian.

"You, you're acting like a lovesick fool again!"

Shui Bing'er tapped her little head, glanced at Li Jiutian, and then immediately returned her gaze to the competition arena.

"Brothers, change formation!"

Tang San shouted at this moment, and immediately after, Dai Mubai and the others all stood behind him.
